Thaxted Essex England John Webbs Windmill at Dusk Photo Brian Harris 28 Oct 2021
John Webb’s or Lowe’s Mill is a Grade II* listed tower mill at Thaxted, Essex, England, which had been restored to working order, but is currently out of action following the loss of a sail in April 2010.
The windmill was built in 1804 for John Webb, a local farmer and landowner, to satisfy the increasing demand for flour both locally and in London.It was constructed using local materials, with timber from two local farms and bricks made at a nearby location in the Chelmer Valley also owned by John Webb.
The mill was always worked by millers named Lowe or John Webb, thus gaining its names. The mill was last worked commercially in 1910
